The Olympic Oath is taken by one athlete and one judge at the opening ceremonies of each Olympic Games. It was spoken in Greek in Athens 2004.
The athlete, from the team of the organizing country, holds a corner of the Olympic Flag while reciting the oath:
In the name of all the competitors I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.
The judge, also from the host nation, likewise holds a corner of the flag but takes a slightly different oath:
In the name of all the judges and officials, I promise that we shall officiate in these Olympic Games with complete impartiality, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them in the true spirit of sportsmanship.

Born in Paris into an aristocratic family, the third child of Charles Louis de Frédy and Agathe-Gabrielle de Mirville, de Coubertin was inspired by his visits to British and American colleges and universities, and set out to improve education in France. He believed that part of this improvement should be sports education, which he considered to be an important part of the personal development of young people. He was particularly fond of rugby and was the referee of the first ever French championship rugby union final on 20 March 1892 between Racing Club de France and Stade Français. (found in wikipedia)
